Multiple Sclerosis Life Insurance

If you have Multiple Sclerosis then you will almost definitely find that your premiums will be increased by your life insurance company.

Why does having MS impact Life Insurance?

Multiple Sclerosis is a degenerative condition of the brain and spinal cord affecting around 100,000 in the UK. The condition is generally diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40, although people outside of this age range can also be affected.

It’s important to recognise that MS isn’t the same for everyone. Two people with the same type may experience completely different symptoms. There are four distinct types of MS:

Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS)

Secondary-progressive MS (SPMS)

Primary-progressive MS (PPMS)

Progressive-relapsing MS (PRMS)
